Chapter 4: The Lady with a Light Sigh (12)
It was the first time I had ever seen people living on this continent, in this human world, using this magical element called "magic". When I was still in our territory, I had never heard of anything like it, let alone seen it before. In fact, it wasn't until we officially re-entered this human-ruled world that I had the privilege of meeting a mage in the Deloma Empire.
However, I'm still very disappointed with the new element of magicians. Because these magicians didn't show me what I wanted to see, they were a bit dull. I had the privilege of having a night conversation with the best magician in the Deloma Empire, but after a long night of deep conversation, I was very disappointed in this so-called best magician. Yes, he, like all the other magicians I've met in the Deloma Empire, doesn't have a deep understanding of the word magic. It seems to me that they are only able to use magic because their constitution happens to be able to absorb magical energy and are lucky enough to use it for themselves. Other than that, there was nothing else that appealed to me. What's even funnier is that that night, the so-called best magician of the Delomar Empire saw that I had no desire to talk to him when I arrived, and he ran into a room thinking that he could save the day, and then took out a dusty old book from that room, and his face was excited: "Sigh lady, this is the treasure I was lucky enough to get during a trip twenty years ago." I'm sure if you really want to have a deep understanding of the elements of magic, this book will definitely help you. ”
However, at this time I was already very tired and disappointed, so I did not produce his book, but said coldly: "Mr. Magician, although I have not read this book, I believe that the content of this book is as rough as yours. I even wonder if your magic was learned from this crude old book, and if so, it would be ridiculous. ”
The magician's face turned red in an instant, and he forced himself to suppress his growing anger, and said in a very heavy tone, "Madam, you can think that my magic level is very rough. I have no complaints about that. Because in this world, we have only just learned about the element of magic for a short time. But I believe that in the future, Grand Magician McGregor, one of the four pioneers of the Elemental Holy City, will definitely appear more and more on this continent. It's true that all my magic so far has come from this book, but I'm just a normal bad student. I'm pretty sure that when you're lucky enough to meet a true magical genius, you'll feel how ignorant you are now. ”
"Oh, is that really the case?" I was a little surprised by the magician's words, but after all, I had completely lost interest in magic and magicians, so I didn't touch this element anymore. Until now, this human girl named Banksy sat behind me.
The two horses were still on the country road, and the scenery around them was tinged with a dull yellow glow as the sun was setting in the west. It made me feel much more relaxed. I handed Banksy a piece of meat behind me and asked, "Are you a magician?"
Unexpectedly, Banksy shook his head, "No, ma'am, I'm not a magician. ”
Not a magician? So that's strange, as far as I know, the only person in this world who can make such perfect use of the elements of nature is a magician. Of course, while the current abilities of magicians seem to me to be more of a joke, I really can't find another being like this except magicians. "Who are you, then? Because I don't think anyone else is comfortable using magic except magicians. ”
"Yes, ma'am, you're right. Banks chuckled, "It's true that only magicians can use magical elements in this world, and this is what they do best, but we can never use. However, I am not using any magical element, but from the power of God. ”
"God's power?" I laughed, the idea of Banksy was too much to believe. What is God? What does God look like? Can God speak, What can God do? No, God can't do anything. Because God does not exist. "Child, I think you should believe that there is no such thing as God in this world. ”
"Yes, ma'am, I thought so before that. Until I saw the angel of God. ”
"Messenger of God?" I glanced back at Banksy sitting behind me, but because we were on top of a horse, I couldn't see what her expression was like at this moment. Is she talking nonsense? Or is she still whimsical? What messenger of God? Is there a god in this world? Please, stop kidding.
"Madam, I don't know if you remember, when the Kingdom of Magellan was about to fall, an ordinary soldier of the Kingdom of Magellan was born and became the most magical magician in the world. Yes, the magician you think. A few days before the imminent demise of the Kingdom of Magellan, this magician and McGregory, the great magician of the space system from the Elemental Holy City, joined forces to create a magic teleportation array that had never been heard of before, that is, because this magic teleportation array was divided into two, maybe three times, and almost all the remaining humans in the indomitable city of St. Sophie were transferred to the Danmoth Empire, that is, the territory of this country?"
I nodded, indicating that I knew about it. But then he replied, "Yes, I have heard of such things, but I have never thought them to be true. You know, the rumored magician and McGray have teleported fifty or sixty thousand people to the territory of this country, how is this possible?"
"Ma'am, there are many impossible things in this world, as if I had never known any undead before. But they are alive and well in the Deloma Empire!"
I smiled quietly when I heard this, but what this person didn't seem to know was that there was a real undead clan in front of her. Of course, at least I won't tell him now. Seeing that I didn't say anything more, Banks continued, "You know, when I knew that there really were undead in this world, I was shocked by this, and that feeling was no less than the shock you are now. But that's not the point at all. ”
"So, what's the point of what you're talking about?"
Banksy looked so excited, I could even feel the breeze of the girl's hands waving behind me: "The point is, when they set out to migrate north from a country where they were not welcomed, many of them did not choose to go to the junction of the Vault Dweller's Hill and the Orc Territory to the north, but in the midst of it. There are God's envoys. Or rather, he is God. ”
Hearing this, I laughed, "Can you tell me what kind of god would have fled there in the kingdom of Magellan at all without any effect? In fact, if what you tell me is true, then the god you are talking about is really nothing." No, it's just a pleasure. ”
Banks didn't speak again for a long time, but complained, "Well, I admit that I can't explain the doubts you raised, but there is no doubt that I did see the messenger of God, and it is because of the messenger of God that I have learned my current power, the power of God." ”
"You're saying that these orbs of light of yours are some kind of divine power?"
"Of course, ma'am," Banks said fanatically, "they claim to be messengers and subordinate residences of the God of Light. And the reason why I was chosen was because of my destined fate with them. It was because of this that I learned their abilities, even though they are still very small. But I'm sure I'll be able to help you and Lord Reading very well, so trust me. ”
After a long time, I reluctantly nodded. From this moment on, I knew that this woman named Banks, who had come into contact with the messenger of God and had learned magical powers from the messenger of God, was destined not to go all the way with me. Maybe she'll have a friendship with the old man Reading, so that she might be one of the heroes of this declining empire, but with me, I'm afraid fate began when I knew him, and finally we reached the end.
But now I think we, at least Reading, need Banksy girl. Because I had smelled the power of this yellow light from the yellow light emitted from her body before, and it was the ability to heal. So, at least I don't have to worry about Reading dying from a minor injury. But just one Banksy is clearly not going to help me more. I need more, more. "Banksy, do you know someone with a special ability like you, and we desperately need your help to escort Reading safely to the Courage Line. ”
Banksy looked down and thought for a long time, and I asked about the smell of its hair. If only my hair could have the same unique scent as hers. "I'm sorry ma'am, but I don't know anyone like me but myself. But just to the northeast of us, there is a large stronghold, which is the base of the rogue here. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who can live up to your standards. Ma'am, you're so good, I think you're just as good as Hill. ”
"Hill?" "Who is Hill?" Is it from the country called Magellan?
"Hill is an elf who suddenly appeared in the kingdom of Magellan. According to those who escaped from the Indomitable City of Hagia Sophie, Hill often refers to himself as the last elf of this world. I guess the only reason why she suddenly appeared in this world at the outbreak of war was that the race called the Apostles wiped out the entire elven race, leaving only Ciel, an elf, to exist alone in this world. That's why Hill hated the apostles so much. ”
"What? What do you say?" I jumped off my horse, lifted the woman off my horse, and shouted to her, "What do you mean by that? I want you to tell me completely!"
Banks was completely stunned by my move, and Reading was even so frightened that he fell off his horse. "Ma'am, you, can you tell me what your problem is?"
"Is what you just said! true or just heard!" I exclaimed, "You just said that all the elves no longer exist except for that Ciel?"
"Well, that's just my speculation. But the survivors who escaped from the kingdom of Magellan also said that the elf named Ciel often said that he was the last elf on the continent, so I guess there should be nothing wrong with that. ”
The elves are finished? The elves are really finished? Why? I don't understand. Obviously, the elven clan has been far away from the full power vortex of this world for so long, from the time they once ruled the entire continent to the time I left, they could only survive in the remote areas of this continent, and their situation was not even as good as that of the undead clan. But why is it that when I return to this continent, this human world, the first news I get is that the elves have been exterminated by the apostles? Why is that? Could it be that my descendants have done something wrong to anger that mysterious alien race? No, this can't be! Since the complete decline, the elves have never participated in any struggle on this continent, so why is all this? Why?
I took a deep breath and put Banks back on the horse. "You're wrong, there's not just one elf named Hill in this world. I took off my hood, and the pair of pale pointed ears blew out. "See, I'm also an elf, so your claim that there may be only one elf in this world is absolutely wrong. And I'm sure I'm going to be a lot better than that Hill compared to that Hill. At least I won't let my race disappear in front of me, and I won't be as incompetent as she is, no matter what. Do you understand? Ms. Banks. ”
